  • Just been over two years that I have been in my maisonette in Alperton. I have 77 years remaining on the lease. I am now looking either to purchase a share of freehold or a lease extension. I purchased the property for 342K, it is now roughly 425k. I understand that 90 years is the period most people extend. I spoke to my about the process, he answered most of my questions but just have one left: I realize this will cost me 10k+, it is not easy to drop the cash (even if I may have savings) to cover it. What do most people do in terms of financing - do they add it to their existing mortgage or pay it out in cash?
  • We are acquiring a maisonette in Alperton which has share of freehold and a leasehold. The lease was on the short side so the seller commenced dealing with a lease extension. The owner has submitted the lease extension paperwork which will result in the registration of a new lease at the land registry. An essential part of the conveyancing process is for our to do a pre-completion search on the property title. The problem here is that as a lease extension has been submitted we've been told by our it may not be possible to do this "priority search" right now as the new property title number has not been issued. Is it right that we must wait until the new lease is registered?
  • Do you handle lease extensions on land? (a plot of land in Alperton with 82yrs remaining)

We are looking for a lease extension, so we contacted our freehold company and they came back with a quote that was double the amount and half the extension time that the lease extension calculator provided. Is there anyway, without racking up a huge legal bill, we can ask the freehold company to provide their computation of the amount and how they derived to it?
